Return To The Building Owner [EN]: Chapter 564

Regressing to Become a Building Owner

“Sob, sob…….”

Hyun-sung was taken aback by Yoo Seung-il’s outburst of tears.

Of course, it wasn’t that he didn’t understand his position, but he hadn’t expected him to burst into tears as soon as he answered the phone like this.

However, he couldn’t show that part of himself.

All Hyun-sung could do was wait for Yoo Seung-il to stop crying.

A moment later.

Yoo Seung-il stopped crying and continued speaking.

“I’m sorry, I just…….”

-It’s okay, I’m fine. But what’s the situation right now?

Knowing the extent of his condition was the priority.

Of course, based on his feeling, it would be early-stage liver cancer. However, that was just Hyun-sung’s feeling, and to know for sure, he had to confirm the results of a modern medical examination.

“They said it’s early-stage liver cancer.”

-Ah, I see…….

His feeling was right after all.

But what was strange was why it had to be Yoo Seung-il.

A few months ago, Yoo Sang-hyuk, the father of the youngest, Yoo Young-seok, was also not in good health. He was in such poor health that he was hospitalized for over three months.

So, back then, to test if that ability would manifest, he held Yoo Sang-hyuk’s hand and took his pulse(?).

But it was no use.

He couldn’t feel anything.

In the end, Hyun-sung’s ability didn’t manifest with Yoo Sang-hyuk.

But this time, unlike then, the moment he held Yoo Seung-il’s hand, he felt it right away.

Why, what caused this difference?

Of course, he already knew that the ability wouldn’t manifest equally for everyone, but he was still curious about the reason.

For what reason…….

But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t figure out the reason.

That aside, the real important thing is treatment.

Would he be able to treat him this time, just like he did with Chairman Shin Chun-oh before?

Yoo Seung-il spoke again.

“The doctor says it’s early stage, so they’re going to treat it with medication first, but from my perspective, it’s still too scary.”

-Yes…….

Hyun-sung nodded slightly. It was to show that he fully empathized. The fear that cancer itself brings is something that no one but the person experiencing it can understand.

“But how did you know? No matter how much I think about it, I can’t understand. How did you…….”

Yoo Seung-il’s questions began to pour out all at once.

Perhaps it was a natural reaction. He knew there was something wrong with his liver just by holding his hand.

But Hyun-sung had no way to explain that part.

It had appeared suddenly one day.

Hyun-sung spoke honestly.

-I don’t know about that either. I only know that I somehow developed that ability.

“Does that mean this isn’t the first time?”

-Yes.

“Perhaps…….”

Yoo Seung-il hesitated for a moment before continuing.

“Is this all there is?”

-Pardon? What do you mean…….

“I’m asking about the healing ability. If you can sense the illness, I was wondering if you might be able to treat it as well.”

-Ah, yes, that’s…….

From Yoo Seung-il’s perspective, it was natural to be curious. If he could sense the other person’s illness just by holding their hand, then perhaps he could also treat it.

He would be more desperate than anyone right now.

But the problem was Hyun-sung.

Of course, he had experience treating people. He had healed Chairman Shin Chun-oh, his father, and even Kwon Oh-young, the restaurant owner.

But the problem was that the moment he admitted that fact in front of Yoo Seung-il, he would be completely stuck.

Yoo Seung-il would unconditionally beg him to save him.

‘What should I do?’

Hyun-sung couldn’t help but worry. He understood his unfortunate situation, but he had met him in a previous life with bad blood.

Of course, that feeling still remained.

That’s why Hyun-sung couldn’t answer properly.

Yoo Seung-il was 55 years old. He had lived a long life, so how could he not be perceptive? When Hyun-sung couldn’t answer properly, he immediately noticed, and his eyes changed.

“Not answering properly means it’s a yes, which means you can treat me, right? Am I wrong?”

-That’s…….

It was already too late to deny it, so he could only shut his mouth. Then Yoo Seung-il spoke faster.

“Mr. Kim! Please save me. From now on, I’ll do whatever you tell me to do, so please…….”

It was the moment when Yoo Seung-il’s desperation was revealed. That’s why he couldn’t help but talk longer.

How much time had passed?

Yoo Seung-il began to sob again.

“Mr. Kim! Please…….”

-…….

“Please save me! What should I do? Huh?”

-…….

Hyun-sung still couldn’t choose what to do. That’s why he could only close his mouth and remain silent.

But then.

‘Huh? What is this?’

He could feel Yoo Seung-il’s body condition through the phone. He could feel the same condition he had felt when he first held Yoo Seung-il’s hand.

‘Is this possible?’

Hyun-sung twisted his head violently.

He couldn’t understand how he could feel the other person’s illness just by holding their hand, but now he could feel the other person’s illness through the phone. It didn’t make sense.

This was impossible.

But the problem was that at this moment, he could definitely feel Yoo Seung-il’s cancer cells.

-Mister!

Hyun-sung was so surprised that he shouted at Yoo Seung-il without realizing it.

“Huh? Oh, yes. Tell me.”

-Something strange has happened.

“Something strange? What is it?”

-I can feel it.

“You can feel it? What does that mean? You’re saying you can suddenly feel something?”

-I’m saying I can feel your cancer cells here too. Through this phone.”

“No, this person is saying something ridiculous…….”

Yoo Seung-il was dumbfounded.

Did that make sense? It wasn’t like some sci-fi movie, how could he feel the other person’s cancer cells through the phone?

‘No, wait a minute!’

Yoo Seung-il tilted his head. What didn’t make sense was knowing that there was something wrong with the other person’s body just by holding their hand.

But that had already happened.

And now, he was going one step further and saying that he could feel the other person’s cancer cells through the phone even when they were apart.

‘Maybe…….’

From the beginning, it was all impossible. Then maybe it was possible as he said. Maybe he could feel it through the phone just like he felt it by holding his hand…….

Yoo Seung-il immediately asked with a hopeful heart.

“You’re really saying you can feel my body’s cancer cells from there?”

-Yes, that’s right.

“Does that make sense? How can you through the phone…….”

-That’s what I’m saying. I myself have never even thought of this kind of situation, so I can’t believe it. But what’s clear is that I can feel your cancer cells from here.”

“Haha, this is…….”

Yoo Seung-il was utterly dumbfounded.

How could this happen? He thought it was impossible, but that impossible thing was happening right now.

What kind of trickery was this?

Then he heard Hyun-sung calling again.

-Mister!

“Oh, yes.”

-Take your hand off the phone for a moment.

“Huh? Oh, okay.”

Yoo Seung-il immediately understood what he meant and put the phone down on the chair for a moment.

Meanwhile, Hyun-sung focused his mind and paid attention. It was to check if there were any changes.

As expected, he couldn’t feel anything.

That meant that he could only feel the other person’s body condition when he was holding the phone and talking on it. The phone was the connection after all.

A moment later.

Yoo Seung-il picked up the phone and immediately asked.

“How is it?”

-As expected, I couldn’t feel anything without the phone.

“Does that mean you can only feel it when you’re talking on this phone?”

-Yes, I think so. It’s just amazing.

Hyun-sung was just amazed. He couldn’t explain the current situation with any other words than amazing.

It was then.

‘Wait a minute!’

Something flashed through Hyun-sung’s mind.

It was about treatment.

Until now, he had treated people by placing his hand directly on their body. Of course, at that time, he could know the person’s condition by holding their hand.

But what about now?

He could know the other person’s condition just by talking on the phone.

Does that mean……?

After thinking for a moment, Hyun-sung urgently called Yoo Seung-il.

-Mister.

“Oh, yes.”

-I’ll call you again in a moment.

“Huh? Why? Is something wrong?”

-No, it’s not that, but I have something to check. I’ll call you again after I check.

Click.

After hanging up the phone, Hyun-sung told Lee Myung-hoon and left the store to go up to his house on the second floor.

Then he immediately made a phone call somewhere.

After the signal rang a few times, the other person answered the phone.

-Hello.

“Father, it’s me.”

The place Hyun-sung called was his father in the countryside.

-What’s going on at this hour?

“Father, don’t hang up and just hold the receiver for a moment.”

Hyun-sung said that and immediately closed his eyes. Then he began to focus all his mind on the phone.

A moment later.

“Haa!”

Hyun-sung’s mouth dropped open without him realizing it.

He had hoped. The moment he felt his cancer cells while talking to Yoo Seung-il, he couldn’t help but be surprised. It was something he couldn’t even think about.

But he wanted to confirm it. So he hung up the phone with Yoo Seung-il and called his father. But as expected, just by his father holding the phone, he could feel his father’s body condition.

And this time, he called home instead of his cell phone. But he could still feel his father’s body condition.

That meant that he could know the other person’s condition not only through cell phones but also through landline phones.

Hyun-sung called his father again.

“Father!”

-Oh, yes.

“You haven’t been able to go to the bathroom properly these days, have you?”

-Huh? How did you know? I guess it’s because I’m getting old, I’ve developed constipation that I didn’t have before…… Huh? Wait a minute! But how did you know that?

“I’ll explain it later, so for now, put the phone on your stomach.”

-What? What are you talking about? Why the phone on my stomach?

“Just put it on there. Even for just 5 minutes…….”

-Huh? Oh, okay.

The father tilted his head and put the phone on his stomach.

5 minutes later.

-Hyun-sung, I need to go to the bathroom…….

Click.

The father hung up the phone before Hyun-sung could answer.

He snickered.

Hyun-sung looked at the phone and couldn’t help but smile.

He had wondered. With a hopeful heart, he poured energy into the phone as he had done before when he treated people. But it was transmitted to his father like a lie again [as if it were a lie].

Hyun-sung made another phone call. This time it was Chairman Shin Chun-oh. It was to confirm one more time.

-Hello.

“Grandfather, it’s me.”

-Oh? Yes, are you doing well?

“Yes, just a moment…….”

Hyun-sung began to focus his mind on Shin Chun-oh in the same way he had done with his father a little while ago.

After a while.

“Your right knee hasn’t been feeling well lately, has it?”

-I went to the hospital because it wasn’t feeling well…… No, wait a minute! But how do you know that?

“That’s what I’m saying.”

-What are you talking about?

“I’ll explain the reason later, so for now, put the phone on your knee.”
